I mentioned before that Husband had bike problems before we left on the trip. Amanda Sport was close to Tabata station but we still needed a GPS to find it since it was tucked away in a little neighborhood.

I took my own photos that day and here are just a few:

City Mascot – I have no idea what the cutsey turtlesque thing really is but it’s adorable.

Here is a shot outside the station – that little french pastry shop was calling my name but we didn’t end up stopping there.

Husband and I leaving.

A shot from inside the store. That’s Mr. Chiba – the proprietor

Between some houses…

Amanda Sport bike stash – right outside the front door.

these were from a community garden right around the corner. It was so peaceful to stand there and listen to the cicadas…
